excellent stay!

my room included a useful mini fridge, which i liked. the reception area had free coffee, fruit, and snacks available throughout the day. the staff was cute and professional!!! i appreciate the convenience of having refreshments always available.
the toilet door did not completely close. you could see inside the toilet from the room, a bit uncomfortable. i recommend improvements be made to ensure proper closure.

The location was good. the hotel staff was very helpful. the room had all the mentioned amenities and free wi-fi. It was fast enough for work calls and watching movies.
my room was quite small. the bed was big and this did not work well in such a small room (it was room #611). i could only get dressed at the base of the bed because the space was very tight.
